Origination fee is now 8% on all loans (as of August 5, 2008).

 

Your specific interest rate and origination fee will be provided to you in the loan documents sent to you for review and signature, if you are approved for a loan. If you don't want the loan offered, simply cancel your loan at that point, at no cost or fee to you.
